<td> <span class="RakNetBlueHeader">What is
Swig?</span><br>
<br>
Swig is an application that generates wrapper code for a native DLL to
interface with other languages allowing you to use a C/C++ library in
one of the supported languages. Currently Swig configuration for RakNet
is set up to generate a managed interface that can be used in managed
C# in Windows, as well as in Linux with Mono.<br>
<br>
Swig generates a CXX and .h file, which exposes interfaces that can be
used by the target language. The CXX file is included when building the
C++ dll that the target language&nbsp; uses.<br>
<br>
Swig also generates files in the target language for inclusion in the
project of the target language to interface with the dll. These are
added to the project of the target language.<br>
<br>
<span class="RakNetBlueHeader">What is Mono?<br>
<br>
</span>Mono is a cross platform implementation of the .Net
framework. This allows you to compile C# and other .Net code and run
them on platforms that originally are not .Net compatible like Linux.<br>
<br>
<span class="RakNetBlueHeader">Choices to Make.<br>
<br>
</span>You may choose to use the tools with RakNet or start
from scratch.<br>
<br>
On Windows batch tools are provided make the
process easier.
These tools are located under the Swig Directory under
DependentExtensions. For Linux&nbsp;the tools will
use Wget to pull down Swig and install version 2.0.00 if Swig is not
installed.<br>
<br>
You may also download Swig yourself and compile them by specifying the
options manually. In the manual portion the options used&nbsp;will
be explained.<br>

<li>Copy the DLL created in the previous step to the same
folder as the binary. Example: bin\Debug</li>
<li>If you wish the project to be compatible with 64 bit
vista you need to use the following steps.</li>
<li>When the project is opnen there should be a menu item
called Build. Click it.</li>
<li>Go to Configuration manager and click it.</li>
<li>On the top right there is a drop down menu called
Active Solution platform.</li>
<li>If X86 is in the project menu click it and go to step
16.</li>
<li>If not click New.</li>
<li>Under "Type or select the new platform" pick x86.
Copy settings should be set to "Any CPU"</li>
<li>Make sure "Create new project platforms" is checked
and click ok.</li>
<li>Click on "Active Solutions configuration" in the top
left.</li>
<li>Pick the next item after the one currently selected

that #20 is true.</li>
<li>Do #20-21 for each item in the list.</li>

A C# sample project is included under
DependentExtensions\Swig\SwigWindowsCSharpSample. The DLL file is not
included and needs to be copied to the bin/Debug or the bin/Release
folder depending on whether or not you are doing a release or debug
build. If the DLL_Swig project is used the dll is copied automatically.<br>

You may be able to install Mono using your favorite package manager, if
you can go that route do so. The instructions vary depending on your
package manager and distribution. Some package manager have different
options for the C# compiler. This tutorial assumes <span style="font-weight: bold;">gmcs</span> is installed.</span></span><br>

A C# sample&nbsp;is included under
